Story of This Week: The Hare and The Tortoise

 

Once upon a time, there was a speedy hare who bragged about how fast he could run. Tired of hearing him brag,  slow and steady,the tortoise, challenged him to a race. All the animals in the jungle gathered to watch the race. The race started and the hare cried out: ” How do you expect to win the race when you’re walking so slowly?”. He ran down the road for a while and stopped to rest, thinking:” there is plenty of time to rest.” But, the tortoise walked and walked and  never stopped until he came to the finish line. All the animals cheered so loudly for him, the hare woke up. It was already too late to continue the race. So, he always reminded himself: ” Don’t brag about your lightening pace, for slow and steady win the race.”
